Hello to all
I'm new here and new to wow modding in general. I started playing wotlk recently and wanted to play a Troll but after some time playing it i just can't get over their bare feet, they feel wrong for some reason.
So i looked up ways to get rid of their bare feet and found that with a simple dbc edit i could make the boot texture go over their entire foot, that satisfied me for a while
Now i don't like how it looks like they were socks instead of shoes, the texture is there but the troll foot (two fingers) shape is there too, so now to the question (sorry for such a long introduction :oops: )
Is there a way to modify the actual troll player model to show an actual shoe instead of two chubby fingers painted like boots?
Thank you

Extract trolls M2 file convert it to M2I thru MXRex 4.6.1 and edit in blender to anyshape you want
eg. all animated models you can see here was done by m2redux by me

I'll have a look into M2 files and M2I and update with what i can do, thanks a lot for your help!
-
Sorry, i couldn't find any program called "MXRex", is this something done in Blender? I found out that you can export models using WoWModelViewer, could i do it this way too?

its M2Redux i had misspelled it by mistake

Hello again and thank you for your swift responses
I have accessed the MPQ file "patch-3" (as it is the last one that loads it should be the one i take the files from, right?) and taken out the Troll Male m2 file as well as all the skin files that were there too, like this:

I also downloaded M2Mod Redux 4.6.1 which looks like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/Qe0JwCW.png)
Now the problem is when i hit "Go!" an error appears along the lines of "Out of control exception" that gives me the option of either "Continue" (The program gets stuck in the 'working' phase) or straight out close the program and won't let me turn the m2 file into m2i
What can i do?
Thanks again for your help

4.6.1. Uses WoD models so get them from there
-
May I ask what dbc you modified to make the textures cover the feet?

ChrRaces.dbc found in patch-3.mpq in the DBCFiles folder
I can upload and post the patch file with the textures changed here if you want it, it weighs something like 20kb
4.6.1. Uses WoD models so get them from there
But i'm not looking for WoD models, i'm playing wotlk so i'm using the old models. What version should i use then?
Thanks

Yes that would be cool im not aware how you make a race have feet textures in the chrRaces

use Wod models and downport them to Lk

Sorry if maybe i'm too thick to understand what you mean, but it sounds as if you're telling me to modify the wod model then put that in the game and that's not what i want :| what i'm trying to do is modify this part right here:

I want to modify this model to get rid of this crevice so that it looks like an actual shoe, but keeping the old wotlk model, is it possible?
Again sorry if maybe i'm wasting your time and thank you for your amazing patience :oops:

Wod has both Hd and non Hd models just pick up non HD one do edits and downport it to LK

That's great! very handy
Is there a file somewhere with the wod & old models m2 files to download? i can't seem to find anything on google

UPDATE:
I downloaded the wod character models on a patch featured in this post:
viewtopic.php?f=93&t=10800 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=10800" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
I figured since it says "No NPC" the old model would be the troll NPC model in there, so i took out the troll NPC model and the character model with WinMPQ along with all their .skin files and got this error when i tried to use m2mod:

I'm completely at a loss as to what to do now :| the image says "TrollMaleNPC" but the error persists when doing it with the Troll Male character model too
